TERRE HAUTE, IND., MARCH 23,1895

A BOSTON printer Is going to marry 92,000,000 heiress of Philadelphia.. This is what he would oall a "phat take."

IT'S about time for a

4,raoe

war" to

break out in Kentucky. A colored mau wants to be a candidate fur lieutenant governor down there.

THE vice president, Mr. Stevenson denies that he intends to spend the oom ing summer in Europe. The presidential bee he has in his bonnet will not thrive on the blooms produced so far from home

MB THUHSTON may be removed from the position of Hawaiian Minister to the United 8iates, on theolaims of Secretary Gresham, but he will remain here render the tecretary'n life a burden to him. tie seems competent to do that.

EUGENE FIELD says in the Chloago Record that fonjigu p'twnrs should ua derstand that no representatives will be welcome at Washington unless they are of tho same intellectual width and breadth as the Hon. Walter Q. Gresham.

THE Argus Eyed Demons of Hell are holding their first annual reunion at Massillon, Ohio, to-day. The society is not composed of refugees from the infernal regions, but consists of the war correspondents who followed Coxey's army across the continent last year.

ADAM BADBAU, who WAS one of the men pushed to the front by S. Grant, died this week in New Jersey. He lost whatever respect the people- may have had for him by attempting to prove that he, and not the dying hero of Mt. Mc Grogor, wrote the memoirs that made Mrs. Grant a wealthy woman.

THERE'S many a heart pang that trou bles presidential candidates these windy March days when they see how Wm MeKinley is forming new acquaintances through the South. The man who can view- this trip with the least concern— and probably does—is a cer.ain distinguished Iudiana citizen whose home is in Indianapolis.

NAVAL arch AW** given so much attention to t-ho ti-r^tin. qualities of the modern war vessels tint they seam to have neglected their floating qualities. The sinking of the Spanish war vessel, Reina Regente, and the English monster, Viotoria, seem? to indicate th.it there is something radically wrong in modern naval architecture.

THE prompt calling down of Spain by our Sta'e department, in the Allianoa inoident, is the first real popular thing that has been done in thai branch of the government service since Mr. Gresham became associated with it. It is ex plained, however, by the fact that Mr. Uh.', assistant secretary of state, who was in charge during his chief's illness, is responsible for the unexpected display of Americanism.

THE gas belt people have had a little •et back as a result of the destructive natural gas explosions occurring recently, but they are trying to make up for that by advertising the merits of their climate. One day recently it was announced that in Anderson three men, aged respectively eighty, seventy-three and seventy years, had within one week, become happy fathers. Aboard of trade that will do this kind of advertising is certainly up to date.

A YEAR or two ago one of the leading magazines published a fanoiful sfcetoh that pretended to explain how it is that ao many persons disappear so completely. It created much interest on aocount of its impracticability as well as by the seeming impossibilities as offered In the way of mysterious disappearances. But recent events bear the writer out, and only this week a reward of 910,000

was offered in the Ci*iv'~n papers for the discovery of the whert«i utaof a young lady whodisappeared durmg tb« World's fair, and no traoe of her has var been disolosed. She was young, wealthy and beautiful, but despite all these claims to notice, she has disappeared as completely as if sh£ had vanished into thin air. It would Beem that a reward of |10,000 is enough to stir the Hawkshaws of the windy oity to find some traoe of the missing beauty, but thus far it has not had that effect, and the mystery is deep enough for a sensational detective story.

THE politicians are beginning to talk about next year's national conventions, and muoh conjecture is Indulged in as to what the Southern states will do in the Republican convention. Though the Southern states have contributed no electoral vote to the Republican column sinoe 1876, the Southern republicans oast a large vote in a national convention and in 1892 they deoided the contest In favor of Mr. Harrison. The Southern states which the Republicans are san guine or hopeful of oarrying in 1896 are Tennessee, West Virginia, Missouri, North Carolina, and "Virginia. A preliminary survey of the field for Republl can delegates shows Reed to be the favorite in Louisiana and South Carollnla, McKiniey in Georgia, West Vir ginia, and Alabama, Don Cameron in North Carolina, Harrison in Florida and Mississippi, William B. Allison In Maryland, Tennessee and Missouri, and the states of Virginia, Texas, and Kentuoky divided in their preferences. In three previous national conventions of the Republican party, 1880, 1884, and 1888, John Sherman was the favorite of the Southern republicans.

HEBE in Indiana the ohief result of legislative meetings seems to be. to give lawyers a ohance to fight over the constitutionality of nearly every la passed, and especially of the laws relating to possession of the offices. Goyernor Mat thews ignored the new law relating to the appointment of prison direotors, whioh provides they shall he named by a board composed of the state officers. The board named a set of directors, who filed their bonds, and proceeded to elect Charles Harley, of Delphi, warden of the prison north. He has made a de mand on the present warden of the Michigan City prison for possession, and has been refused, of course. The matter will now have to go through the oourts b9fore we can learn whether or not Governor Matthews has beou de prlved of one of his constitutional pre rogatives. Practically the same course will be pursued in regard to every one of the offices whioh the Republicans endeavored to take away from the Democrats. It will cost an endless amount of money, and when the people come to pay the expenses of the litigation, as they will In the end, they will no doubt make up their minds that the money was poorly spent. ,{ W\

YEARS may come and years may go, but the foolish girls with their first love afiair on their hands will never iearn that paternal wisdom is more frequently to'bd depended on than their own love tinged ft (icy. A daughter of Chief Justice KuJIer applied for a divorce last week in the Chicago courts from the man to whom she was married six years ago after a sensational elopement that furnished food for the scandal mongers. She was a girl of eighteen, he was her first lover, and his honeyed words seemed more potent to her than the ad vice of thoie who loved her best. Now he is a drunkard beyond recall, she and her two babies are dependent on her father, and to secure relief from the hated bonds she must become a figure in divorce court proceeding. Yet her case is but one in ten thousand, and attracts attention only by the prominence of her father. Where one marriage proves happy that is consummated against parental approval hundreds turn out as in this case, and as many lives are ruined by love's so-called dictates. There is not a state in the union that doesn't need a radical revision of its marriage and divorce laws, and they should be so revised that love-siok maids of tender age oould not throw away their future. It would tend to decrease the business of the divorce courts.

CIVIL SERVICE WITS A VENGEANCE. Illinois has taken an advanced step in the way of civil service reform, by a law thai was passed this week, intended especially for Chicago, but applloable to any dlty in the state that may adopt it. It will be submitted to Che people of Chicago at the oom ing oity election, and it is a question whether or not it will be adopted at the reoommendatlon of the Civlo Federation, whioh fathered the measure. It provides for a civil servioe commission of three members, appointed by the mayor, who shall flit all offices in the oity government, exoept those elective, or subject to confirmation, eleotion judges and olerks, teaohers, and heads of departments, by civil servioe examinations. The law does away with jolitical assessments, prohibiting all offioers ot employes of the oity from •ollolting or oontributtng money for any political purpose whatever, and the penalties for violation are made severe. Appointments under these rules are itaade for life or good behavior, and appointee* oannotbe removed excaptupon charges thoroughly established. There was much bitter opposition to the bill In the legislature, and some of its opponents termed it

Man

act to relieve rich

men of the duties of oitlEensbip." It passed by a decisive vote, however, owing to thelobbyingof the civic federationists, and next month the people of Chicago will advise the rest of the world whether or not they are willing to take suoh advanoed ground on the subject of civil

M»rvioe reform, There may be reasonable doubt expressed as to whether suoh a bill will be approved by the people, for the reason that there are too many persons in Chicago looking for

adopt a measure that might deprfvo them of all hope. The Lucius B. Swift* and William Dudley Foulkesof the olvll servioe advance guard have aliffty® maintained that the people at lat%& are in favor of civil servioe, and would ao decide if given an opportunity to do ao. We shall soon have a praotioal demonstration as to whether or not tbf» people in a typical community are really in favor of the measure.
